Winter wheel fitment question

[YasBlue6SpdM3]

Would the following wheels fit an f80? Planning on using them as winter wheels with 245/40/18 winter tires.

BMW OEM Model 219
Front Size: 18" x 8.5", Offset +29, Bolt Pattern 5x120
Rear Size: 18" x 9.5", Offset + +23, Bolt Pattern 5x120

The 18x8.5" ET29 is a good fitment up front, as it should clear your suspension without issue. In the rear, the 18x9.5" ET23 will fit, however a 245 tire is quite stretched on a 9.5" wheel. My main concern would be brake clearance, as even the standard steel brakes on the F80 M3 are quite large. I would recommend verifying that those wheels do clear your brakes before running them.

Ideally, we recommend going with an 18x9" ET31 paired with 245/40-18 tires, as the tires will be properly supported and not stretched. We are offering a winter wheel & tire group buy for our EC-7's if interested.

+1 on the brake fitment. If you have the competition package you may very well have major fitment issues. I ran into this with 19" wheels. some would fit and some would not.

Thanks for the info. I guess I'll pass on this setup.
